“Dr. Ratner was kind, gentle, and had a great bedside manner with my newborn son. He took the time to explain my son's treatment plan with me and via phone with my son's father, who could not be there in person due to the COVID policies. During the following weekend, when we had concerns about my son's hand, I emailed Dr. Ratner some pictures and the questions. He promptly responded, providing reassurance and even offering to see my son in the office the next day preferred. Although it was not necessary, we greatly appreciated Dr. Ratner's swift response and concern for our son.”
